Help get permits for land

love creek road, Ben Lomond CA
Description
I am looking at buying a piece of land that is back up in an isolated canyon. It appears to be zoned for residential, but the documents I have are not official. That’s one issue. The second thing is that the document I have shows a road that is used to access the property but the road does not exist yet, so I need it in writing that I’m allowed to put in the road. The third issue is that the property is on a steep incline, so putting the road in will require blocking traffic, so that will need permits too. Overall, I would like help to: 1) Get an official document from the county or other source that proves the property is zoned for residential, and I can build on it, and that the road in the document is official, and I am allowed to put the road in. 2) Find out the rules for me bringing in an excavator and grading the road that is shown on the official document that was obtained in step 1. 3) Putting in the road will require starting at an existing road, which is pretty much a one lane dirt road. That one lane dirt road is the only access for many people who live further up the canyon, and use it every day. The road will be blocked for maybe as many as 8 hours, while digging out enough of a place to move the excavator up and off the road. So.. is blocking the road for that time allowed? What kinds of permits are needed? IE, what paperwork is needed so when the blocked residents call the police, all the paperwork is in order and the work will not be stopped. 4) Do we need to get the land surveyed, to lay out exactly the boundaries of the property and the boundaries of the road to be put in? 5) When getting the permits to put in the road, do they require putting in the entire road that’s shown? Or may I just put in enough of the road to get to my property? 6) There’s a creek at the bottom of the canyon, what are the rules around pumping water from it up to my land? Or, rules around sinking a well on my land? 7) There is no cell coverage and no internet there.. so, one idea is to go up to the top of the canyon and put in a microwave dish to get internet and put in a cell repeater for phone coverage.. can these be installed on land that is shown on the document as being the (not yet existing) road? Can the wires going from my pad up to them be run along the land marked as road? What kinds of permits, and what kind of notice would we need to give and what rules have to be followed in order to do that? 8) Any other permits required or rules that I'm not thinking about? Precisely, the things that we need in writing, saying it’s okay to do: 1) grade the road 2) block traffic with an excavator (for at least 1 day, maybe at most 5 days total?) 3) Only put in a small portion of the road, just enough to access my property 4) put a pad on my land 5) put a trailer or “Tiny House” on wheels onto the pad 6) put an outhouse on my land (IE at first an open cess pit, eventually a buried septic system) 7) run a generator on my land (for electricity when solar isn’t enough) (there are probably noise ordinances or something about the fumes or something else). 8) run wires over the land that is marked as road 9) install internet dish and cell phone repeaters on land at the top of the canyon that is marked as road. 10) For each of the above, list all the requirements and rules (such as having to get surveying done, noise, certain feet away, materials, maximum sizes, hours of activity, and so on). What do you think you would charge for helping to get those things? Thanks, Sean
